Without You | Garmau

Chapter Two, Hurtful Past

"There is something about losing your mother that is permanent and inexpressable - a wound that will never quite heal."
- Susan Wiggs

Narration
Garroth, first born of O'khasis, soon becoming the future lord. Garroth was a Kind, Respectful, Smart, Brave and Strong son. He was the kindest guy you'll ever met. If you're clumsy, he'll help you. If you're weak, he'll protect you. He will do anything for you.

But when you're at the evil side,
Say Goodbye.

He was a happy child back then.
No wars,
No explosions,
No destructions,
Everything you can think of that is bad, was not in this village.
Not at all.

But everything starts to turn dark.

By the time the wife of the Lord of O'khasis died, the Lord of O'khasis went in range. No one knew what's the cause of the death but only Garroth saw it all.

In the middle of the night at the village of O'khasis, someone sneaked in at the Lord and Lady's house and went inside their room. Garroth and Zane were asleep in their room but Garroth instantly waked up after hearing footsteps outside of their door. He immediately opened the door quietly without waking up Zane. He walked quietly at his Mother and Father's room and saw a masked man holding a demonic sword, ready to kill the king. The masked man was about to kill the king but the queen instantly grabbed a sword under their bed and blocked the masked man's sword. "You'll never get away with this." The queen spoked. "Oh, I can and I already have." The masked man said and slashed a dagger at queen's chest. The queen felt weak but she was able to slash his legs so he'll fell down. The queen smiled and blood dripped out of her mouth. The queen didn't let any evidence of this happening. She was about to fell down on her knees but the masked man catched her and said, "This won't happen if you didn't stopped me. Yet it was my job to kill the king not you. I'm sorry. Please keep those memories we have.." The queen spoke her last words and said, "...please protect my sons...". She closed her eyes. The masked man knew Garroth was there seeing all that happened. Garroth silently closed the door and sats and put his hands on his knees. The masked man walked out the Queen and King's room holding the queen's body bridal-style and spoked to Garroth, "...don't be scared... I was taken over by the shadows, come stand up. We don't want you waken up all night..." he smiled and offers a hand. Garroth kindly accepted it and asked, "...are you a friend of my mother sir?". "I am Indeed." He replied. They finally reached at Garroth and Zane's room. The masked man spoke, "Now go to sleep. Keep it between you and I. This is the right path your Mother always told about. Your Mother can see the future but not regularly. Take care, Garroth." He smiled and vanished into thin air. Garroth trusted the masked man and went back to sleep. As promised, he didn't tell anybody what happened that night.

By the morning, the Lord of O'khasis is tearing up about the said letter that was from the queen. It was in their table at their room. When the king's on dutie, Garroth went to their room and read the letter that from her mother.

"Hello dear,
If I'm gone this morning it means that I have reached the clouds. Believe it or not, looking for me is pointless. I just wanted you to be safe and sound and always protect the boys. Teach them the kindliest way, not brutal way. So please, take care.
I love you. I will always be with you.

Sincerly,
Lady/Queen Zianna Ro'meave
Of O'khasis

Garroth was in complete silence. He expected this to happen because of what happened last night. He went to his room and locked the door. He started to cry. He didn't want this to happen. He just wanted a happy and peaceful life just like before. Therefore, everything always end in life.

Years has passed and Garroth grew as a fine man. But Zane grew into a monster. Both him and his father.

His father changed after the death of Queen Zianna, his wife.
And now all he wants is power. He just wanted his wife to live. That's why he wanted Irene's Relic. The only thing he didn't do is to accept that his wife is gone. Therefore she can never go back to life.

Garroth is always in pain since his father is such a monster at him.

But Garroth still gave them respect even though he now hates them.

He is a Strong man.

He is Garroth, Prince of O'khasis.
